1. A computer light comprising:
- a light-emitting diode;
a male jack which mates with a USB or IEEE 1394 port;
two long conductive lead wires each affixed at one end to either the anode or cathode of the light-emitting diode and at the other end to the appropriate contact on the male jack; and
, a flexible support member to which said light-emitting diode and said long conductive lead wires and said male jack are affixed.

Abstract
A light for use with computers containing one or more light emitting diodes on one or more flexible necks which is powered via the computers USB or IEEE 1394 port. An auxiliary USB or IEEE 1394 port may be combined with the plug-in light to allow for additional devices top be connected through the same port powering the light.
